Jangseongho Tourist Area

장성호관광지 · Jeonnam · Theme parks & experiences

Jangseongho Tourist Area is located south of Naejangsan National Park, in Jangseong, known as the hometown of Hong Gil-dong, a Korean Robin Hood. The lake was made by the damming of Hwangnyonggang River, and holds up to 89.7 million tons of water, filled with many freshwater fish species. In addition, the walking path along the 603-meter-long embankment attracts many tourists with beautiful views of the mountains and lake. Cruise ferries and motorboats also cross the lake. Nearby attractions include Ibamsan and Baegamsan Mountains, Namchanggyegok Valley, Baegyangsa and Naejangsa Temples, Gosanseowon Confucian Academy, Bangjangsan Recreational Forest, and more.
